I totally agree with you, most are looking for some form of acceptance, validation or relevance that they can't find within themselves; seeking it externally isn't the way to go though.
I don't use social media and only use WhatsApp to communicate with family that are spread all over the world, mostly on video chats; I prefer to live my life in the real world and have a desire to find real relationships in my face to face interactions; it's where I find the value. I'm around your age, a little younger, and maybe it's an age-related thing, the preference for more tangible connections, although effective communication isn't at all an age thing, it's a human thing.
I'm not surprised to read your remarks and totally agree. I also think we'd communicate well face to face.
I also think we could have a nice conversation over a good coffee and face to face. For now I enjoy very much with this communication space. Best regards.
All the best to you for Sunday also. Enjoy it.
Thank you very much, see you soon
